Originally built in 1914, the Somerville Theatre is a throwback to an era when the neighborhood lineup included a diverse array of entertainment options ranging from opera to silent movies to vaudeville. The current incarnation offers a similar eclectic mix of flicks and up-and-coming rock ‘n’ roll acts. However, it’s the theatre’s reverence for performers like the Magnetic Fields and movie marathons like the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival that maintains this haunt’s street cred.
MORE INFO: More than a million dollars' worth of renovations later, the Somerville Theatre is no longer just a national historical landmark—it's now a plush national historical landmark. In addition to its regular showings of second-run mainstream and independent films, the theatre also features live plays and concerts of all genres (tickets through TicketMaster, usually $20-40). They also boast the cheapest weekday matinees in the city for a mere $4. Also check out their affiliate Capitol Theatre for continued screenings. Films $6.50, seniors and children $4.50 before 6pm; prices vary for musical and theater events.

It is rare to find a place where you can see Blonde Redhead one day and the latest Bollywood film the next. If you haven't been, you need to go.
